THE AGE OF MONSTERS HAS BEGUN.
SWORD OF THE WAR-MONSTER!
“Some days, you just feel like swinging an axe until something gives. This book scratches that itch beautifully.” —Mark Waid (Superman, Captain America)

A savage new fantasy epic from MONSTER FORGE
Written by Shannon Eric Denton & Jeff Mariotte | Art by David Hartman
“Nobody knew it, but the age of monsters was upon us…”
WHAT IS SWORD OF THE WAR-MONSTER?
A brutal new entry in the Monster Forge Universe, SWORD OF THE WAR-MONSTER is an oversized, standalone graphic novel that blends grimdark sword-and-sorcery with classic horror and unapologetic monster mayhem.
In a world ruled by power-mad wizards and crawling with arcane abominations, one monster — built from the bones and weapons of dead heroes — breaks free and sets out to destroy the very masters who created him.
“This is a story about power run amok — about what happens when the tools of war fight back,” says co-writer Jeff Mariotte (30 Days of Night, Desperadoes).
“It’s raw, mythic, and packed with monster fights you’ve never seen before.”
“We wanted to create something that felt heavy metal and horrifyingly exciting — a fantasy book that hits like a hammer,” adds co-writer Shannon Eric Denton (X-Men, Avengers).
“This isn’t about saving kingdoms… it’s about tearing down the rotten ones.”
With its Conan-meets-Frankenstein vibe and blood-drenched visuals, the book is perfect for fans of Berserk, Heavy Metal Magazine, Hellboy, and Lovecraftian dark fantasy.
THE STORY
“I was to be his mindless War-Monster.
I was to secure his rule over a world torn apart by magic.
But even wizards must deal with other wizards…”
When necro-wizard Bezulus stitched together his monstrous champion, the War-Monster, he intended to rule the world through fear and sorcery. But the creature he built from the remains of fallen warriors had other plans.
Now, with the cursed Blood-Blade in hand and vengeance burning in his veins, the War-Monster has one goal:
KILL EVERY WIZARD.
“This world is heavy, grotesque, and epic in scale,” says artist David Hartman (Phantasm: Ravager, Heavy Metal).
“Every page is soaked in shadows, blood, and the kind of monsters I always wanted to unleash on the world.”

100+ pages of brutal, wizard-slaying action
Stunning gothic horror art by David Hartman
Written by comics veterans Shannon Eric Denton & Jeff Mariotte

MONSTER FORGE UNLEASHES “THE REVENANT” ON GLOBALCOMIX
THE GHOST IS BACK — AND HE’S GOT UNFINISHED BUSINESS.
Los Angeles, CA — Monster Forge Productions is thrilled to announce the return of the underground cult classic THE REVENANT, now haunting a global stage via GlobalComix. Created by acclaimed storyteller Shannon Eric Denton (Deadpool, X-Men), this supernatural crime saga slams together pulp noir grit with a deadly ghost story—and it’s never been more timely, or more terrifying.
Set against the decaying opulence of twin cities Sapphire City and Jade Harbor, The Revenant follows a ruthless, sadistic vigilante who stalks the criminal elite with merciless intent. Rumored to be a reanimated gangster gunned down during the city’s Day of the Dead celebrations 15 years prior, The Revenant has become an urban legend among crooks and killers. Now, he’s back—and the body count is rising.
But this isn’t just one man’s revenge story.
The Revenant features story contributions from the late comics legend Keith Giffen (Lobo, Legion of Super-Heroes), Eisner nominated writer Rob Worley (Scratch9) and stunning, gritty artwork by international star Mateus Santolouco (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Two Guns).
“This was a passion project born from my love of pulp, horror, and Dia De Los Muertos,” said Shannon Eric Denton. “With Keith’s brilliance, Rob’s razor-sharp scripting, and Mateus’ kinetic art, we built a world where death isn’t the end—it’s just the beginning of payback.”
Previously released by Antarctic Press, Komikwerks, and Image Comics, The Revenant earned a cult following for its cinematic violence, shadow-drenched visuals, and unapologetic tone. Now, Monster Forge is proud to bring the series to GlobalComix, introducing it to a new generation of readers hungering for hard-hitting supernatural thrillers.
Fear is coming back into fashion—one bullet at a time.
The Revenant is now live at GlobalComix.com—digitally remastered and more deadly than ever. https://globalcomix.com/a/monster-forge
Because the past doesn’t stay buried.
And neither does he.
